NHS awards dementia prizes

A new integrated dementia service, run by a consortium of 162 GPs across 41 practices in Staffordshire, has landed the top award in the NHS Innovation Challenge Prize for Dementia. The prize, run in collaboration with Janssen Healthcare Innovation, was set up this year to identify and reward innovative approaches for dementia, one of the biggest problems the NHS and UK society face today. The Dementia Challenge is part of the wider NHS Innovation Challenge Prizes programme and also the Prime Minister’s Dementia Challenge.
